husker rob Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Yeah why havent anyone other then us offered him ? he holds offers from at least Nebraska, Georgia Tech, Arizona, Nevada, and Washington. those are just the schools that he is interested in. I am sure that he has other offers to go along with them NU was the first to offer (a verbal during his sophmore year) and a written as soon as NU was able to legally Quote Link to comment
Husker_Power Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 http://nebraska.scout.com/a.z?s=204&p=2&c=656755 By Allen Wallace National Recruiting Editor Posted Jul 6, 2007 "Nebraska probably has just a small lead over Georgia Tech," Brandon Leslie said. "Georgia Tech's in the ACC, one of the best conferences," he said. "Coach BJ (Brian Jean-Mary) came down from Atlanta to watch me practice and offered me right away after that. Georgia Tech plays big-time football and there's a lot to do in the city. Most likely I'll choose between Georgia Tech and Nebraska..." Brandon Leslie, the 6-foot, 195 pound safety from Edison High School in Fresno, Calif., remains convinced that Nebraska and Georgia Tech are the best spots for him. "There's a 95% chance I'll choose either Nebraska or Georgia Tech," Leslie said. They are both recruiting me the hardest. I'll be visiting Georgia Tech on Sept. 15 for their game vs Boston College. It'll be on national television at night. "And that advantage is mostly about family," he said. "Nebraska was the first school to offer me and my cousin is Steve Taylor, who played quarterback for the Cornhuskers in the '80s. "We talk once every 2-3 weeks or so," Leslie said. "I just talked with him last week. He says Nebraska is great and that the fan support is terrific. They love you there. Steve's in real estate in Lincoln and he'd be there for me if I went there. "I have another cousin named Toney McCray who just signed with Nebraska to play basketball. He's in summer school there now, getting ready for his freshman year. That could be a big factor for me. "Nebraska texts me every day and they check on me and my family," he said. "They say I'm their main guy. They know I want to commit somewhere early so they want me to visit early in the season. I'll probably go a couple of weeks after I visit Georgia Tech. "Coach (Dennis) Wagner is my recruiting coach for Nebraska. He is a real good guy and is a good friend of my coaches', Tim McDonald. Tim played at USC and he supports the Trojans, but he doesn't promote them. He just wants his kids to get somewhere and doesn't care where they go. Lots of players go to UCLA from Edison. "Nebraska really needs safeties, they say," Leslie said, "and I'm their main priority. I think I'm more of a strong safety and that's how most schools are looking at me because I'm strong and physical. But I'm also athletic enough to play corner. I'm real aggressive in the box, head-to-head on the tight end. I'm almost like a rover. "Nebraska probably has just a small lead over Georgia Tech," he ventured. "Georgia Tech's in the ACC, one of the best conferences," he said. "Coach BJ (Brian Jean-Mary) came down from Atlanta to watch me practice and offered me right away after that. Georgia Tech plays big-time football and there's a lot to do in the city. "I used to be a fan of Georgia Tech when I was younger. The Yellow Jacket's were my favorite mascot," he said. "Most likely I'll choose between Georgia Tech and Nebraska," Leslie said. "If I was to commit now, it would be to one of those schools. It will be a really hard decision. I've never been to either Lincoln or Atlanta yet, so I don't know what they're really like. Arizona, Washington and UCLA (no offer) have only a slim shot at Leslie, who says he also has offers from Stanford, San Jose State, Nevada and Air Force "Robert Golden is already committed to Arizona and he's my best friend. He plays corner for my team. "Coaches J.D. Williams (secondary) and Tyrone Willingham are both good coaches," he said. "UCLA is close to home and it would be convenient for my family to see me play," Leslie said. "They are a good school and are in a nice area with nice people. They had the Pac-10's leading defense last year. If I went to school in Los Angeles, I'd pick UCLA over USC. A lot of kids dream to play for USC but they are really stockpiled with talent. "UCLA has had good players from Edison like Ricky Manning and Brandon Breazell (wide receiver) will be a senior and Courtney Viney (defensive back) will be a freshman." Leslie isn't attending any college football camps this summer. He reports a 3.3 core GPA and expects to receive results from his June ACT and SAT shortly. Quote Link to comment
husker rob Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 NU has a slight lead over GT right now. Steve Taylor talks to him about the school and the fan base regularly and McCray is in school for basketball looking pretty good right now or the Huskers Quote Link to comment
BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 It certainly looks promising to have so many factors in our favor. Quote Link to comment
lapaesl Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 He missed his entire junior season due to injury which may lead to his lack of offers. All or most of the offers came after his stellar combine numbers he has put up. Expect a big senior season from him and for him to jump up in the ratings. Quote Link to comment
huskerfan500 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I think we need to update the chances of getting to around 50% the way he is taliking, it sounds like family is important to him and that is good since Mcray Quote Link to comment
KansasHusker Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 He will announce his decision next monday. Hope we still have that slight lead over GA Tech. Quote Link to comment
husker rob Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I think we need to update the chances of getting to around 50% the way he is taliking, it sounds like family is important to him and that is good since Mcray well 50% would be accurate since he has narrowed it down to NU and GT Quote Link to comment
lapaesl Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Right now all signs point to him commiting to Nebraska on monday, but this is recruiting and a lot of things can change by Monday. Quote Link to comment
